The Complete 2014 Set of Topps Finest Cubs....The Full and Complete Set

Hold on to your horses, boys and girls.

Today you will be amazed with the complete, I mean COMPLETE set of Cubs from Topps 2014 Finest.

Oh, the hours that went into the task of hunting down the complete set.  Online searches, trips to card shops around the globe, pleas for trades with fellow bloggers and collectors; it was a herculean effort.

But in the end, it was worth it.  How many others of you have been able to put together your team's Finest set?

So fire up your scrolling finger and get ready to take a look at the fruits of my labor...


....one whole stinkin' card!  (And I was able to get the card for 18¢ for Sportlots)

Finest is a 100-card set.  Simple division skills tell me that on average, each team should have three players.  Topps was kind enough to give away two of the Cubs slots to some other team.

I'm looking forward to the day when some other team's slots are given to the Cubs.

  3. I agree, I'm looking forward to when there are cards of other players than Rizzo, Castro and Barney/Fujikawa/Lake/Playeroftheyear.

  4. The Padres weren't even included in the set! I mean, Tommy Medica and Casey Kelly have autographed cards, and Tony Gwynn is on one of the inserts, but nothing in the base. Weak.
